June 2020 Summer Challenge Results and Artwork

The June Challenge is over, and all of the artwork was amazing!  I am pleased to announce the week 3 Summer Challenge winner! This Week, Shirley Hotop has won a $30 gift certificate to the Technique Junkies Store! I am also excited to announce the Grand Prize winner...the winner of ALL of the July 2020 new stamp release. The winner is... Tami Carlson French! All 14 of the July stamps will be sent to Tami as her prize.  All of the artwork submitted for the challenge has been compiled in the video below...so many beautiful pieces! Please note, as I was making this video my program crashed, and while I think I recovered all of the artwork, if yours is missing it is only because of the video crash, which did NOT affect contest results. If yours is missing, please accept my apologies! Also, before I share the video, tomorrow is release day and we will be sharing and celebrating the release of the 14 new stamps being released in July.  Bear with me and the multiple emails this week!

Hanging with my Gnomies

Hey there!  Today I'm hanging with my Gnomies.  What are you up too?

I love love love gnomes, but so does half of the world.  This Hanging with my Gnomies stamp set comes with three gnomes, which I masked to make a crowd, or is it a flock, or hurd of gnomes? 

For my sentiment, I coloured each letter of "gnomies" with a Tombow marker, huffed, and stamped out. 

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for our New Release.  Once again, there's something for everyone.

Real Brush Markers Watercolor With Lilac Stamp

Hello, Lynda Joy here, with some watercolor inspiration with real brush markers and the Technique Junkies Lilacs stamp.

Lilacs JT017
Difficult Time SDX156
With Sympathy Set of 5  SS049

I used my Misti to stamp the Lilacs  onto watercolor paper with distress inks.  I used Arteza real brush markers to watercolor the image, and a water brush to create the loose watercolor background.

I white embossed the Thinking of You verse onto card stock, added some fiber, and added it to the panel, then layered it onto a card front.

On the inside, I stamped portions of the lilac with distress ink, and added the sympathy verse from the With Sympathy Set of 5 set.

Don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, for 10% off your order, if you are doing any shopping at the Technique

AND, all summer and beach related stamps are 20% OFF with the code Summer2020.  You have until tomorrow, June 29, to enter a card in the Summer Artwork Challenge.  The theme is anything summer!  The prize is a generous $30 gift certificate to the TJ store!!!  And a grand prize of the entire June release stamps!  Hope to see you at the challenge!

Thanks for visiting, and for you wonderful comments.

Hello everyone!

It's Ceal, here to share with you today. It's officially summer so I thought I would share a summer card with you using one of the June release stamps, Coral Seaturtle.  You can save 10% on this stamp and your entire order by using my code TJ10

To create my card I started with a top folding white card base.  I stamped the turtle image, colored it using Copic markers and masked it off to create a background that looks like water ripples, I did that by using a stencil and the blending brushes.

Going to be Fine

Hi there!

Today, I'm sharing a beautiful card using three of the June release stamps, 'Coral Sea Turtle', 'Inside Out: Silence is Golden', and 'Bubble Flow'.  It was fun using a sentiment from a humorous set on a serious card!

The image was stamped onto the focal panel, and colored with copic markers. A 'mask' was stamped and fussy cut out of masking paper. The focal image was masked off, and 'Bubble Flow' was stamped over the panel. A white gel pen, some designer papers, and a couple of burlap scraps finished this beautiful card off nicely!

I am SO enjoying this June release. Can't imagine what July will hold!!!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

This was so easy to create! Hope you will give it a try!

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month!  You will use them over and over!!!

Thanks for stopping by,
